During the filming of Ra. One Shah Rukh had experienced a shoulder injury. After he was done with the superhero film and started shooting for Rohit Shetty’s Chennai Express, his injury got aggravated as he tried to perform his own stunts. Eventually, he underwent shoulder surgery to address the persistent issue. During the shoot of the same film, he also fractured his toe while shooting a dance sequence with Deepika Padukone.

Knee injury during Happy New Year
During the filming of Farah Khan’s Happy New Year, SRK ended up suffering an injury once again. Shah Rukh reported getting hurt while shooting at a five-star hotel in Mumbai. Initial reports indicated that the actor was shooting a dance sequence when a door fell on him and he hurt his face and head. He was immediately rushed to Nanavati Hospital. An official statement issued by his publicist stated that the actor “had a minor accident on the sets while shooting. He has a minor injury and has got the necessary medical aid. Mr Khan is absolutely fine now. Thank you for all your wishes.”
Injured knee during Fan
In 2016, during the promotion of his film Dilwale, SRK was recuperating from a broken knee. The actor was spotted resorting to IO HAWK (Intelligent Personal Mobility Device), a mobile vehicle that looks like a scooter without a handle to move from one place to another. As per NDTV, he said, “I saw Justin Bieber using it during my visit to London recently and I thought to myself that this was ‘perfect’ for my broken knee. Now I can rest it and still move around. I have even done a song for Dilwale on an IO HAWK.”
SRK had injured his knee while shooting for Fan the same year, however, owing to back-to-back shoots for Raees and Dilwale, he couldn’t rest. “But it’s just my knees. My arms are perfectly OK,” he said. His co-star Varun Dhawan revealed, “Even with that damaged knee he made sure that all our needs were taken care of and that we left the shooting venue before he did.” SRK’s knee injury got aggravated during the shoot of the song “Janam Janam” but shot the dance sequence effortlessly.

History of Shah Rukh Khan’s injuries
Choreographer Bosco Martis, who choreographed SRK and Deepika for Pathaan’s song “Jhoome Jo Pathaan” in an earlier interview said that despite physical restrictions and discomfort, Shah Rukh mastered the difficult steps. During an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Bosco said, “SRK sir is a beauty to work with. SRK sir says, ‘Bhai, tu jo step de main woh karunga (I’ll do whatever you tell me to do). Tu yeh dekh le whether it looks good on me or not’,” Bosco said.
He continued, “He’s got a busted knee, his back is gone. He never complains, never. That’s the beauty. Even in Pathaan, the way he came, the streets were… Now, in Spain, you can’t fix the streets. You work with what you have, whether they’re cobbled or slippery. But he’s never complained, he knows that somebody is there to protect him. He’s somebody who surrenders, he knows that there is a choreographer who’s there to protect him.”
